Man I dont know if they wont eat it if they just happen by some, but I am gonna guess it is not that high up on their diet.
In other words I defiently would not waste any amount of time, in any effort to transplant those things. If its what I am thinking about I only see those growing in the summer, ( in GA)the stalk may die off in cold weather.

I can't say 100% that a deer won't eat the stuff, but I wouldn't waste my time with it. Several years ago I gutted a buck and out of curiosity I cut open the stomach to see what he was feeding on. It was probably 75% wild mushrooms. I was surprised, but I didn't run to the local supermarket looking for mushrooms to put out for them. Deer feed on a vast amount of different wild plants,and something like wild onion grass could be one of them, but I wouldn't waste my time puttingit out for the deer.

Heres the thing about sugar beets, its not easy work but the results are greater than expected. Youll have to till some land, if you have access to some machinery youll be fine. Plow as much as you think you want, then disk, then drag. Sugar beats should be hand planted 12-14 inches apart as some can get very big. You can get sugar beats fairly cheap from a good seed dealer. You will reap the rewards during the hunting season. Also sugar beats should not be planted in the same spot 2 years in a row. Sugar beets hold great nutritional value for deer to promote excellent antler growth and are a great supplement to their everyday diet.
